SUMNER NOON.

The air is full OF soothing sounds. The bee,
Within the waxen lily's honeyed cells,
In monotone of mellow measure tells
His yet unsated joyance; drowsiy
The swallows spill thaiK liquid melody
As down the sky they drop, and family swells
The tremulous twinkle Of the far sheep bells,
While wind harps sigh in every crowned tree.
Beneath the beachen shade the reapera lie,
Upon their lips a merry harvest tune;
Knee deep within q neighboring stream the
kline
Stand blinking Idly in the clear sunshine
And like dream of olden Already
Seems the sweet languor OF the summer noon.

Mr.. w. c. Brown, of Winona, repres-
enting the Winona and st. Peter Land
Company, on visit to Sleepy Eye the
other day, informed the Herald of that
place that the lands recently awarded by
the courts to the company will not be
placed upon the market until the con-
troverted question of paying back taxes
upon them is adjusted. The company
claim that they ought not to pay back
taxes because it Is only within a short
time that they have become the owners
of the lands. These lands, which lie
mostly in Brown, Redwood and Cotton
wood counties, lave been placed on the
tax lists, with delinquent taxes charged
against them. No deed can be given
until the taxes are paid or RENTED.
Mr.. Brown saws that the company will

irREE wHIsKEY IN NEW YORK.

Governor Hill ofNew York has vetoed
the high license bill and in so doing he
has simply done that which it was really
supposed he would do from the first. In
his message to the assembly the Cover
nor put his reason for the veto upon two
grounds.
First, it is special legislation. because
il applies only TO the cities of New York
and Brooklyn, Notwithstanding the
fact that i'm majority of the other cities
and towns that in a majority ofthe other
cities and towns of the States, the num-
Der of.dramshops is greater than in these,
in proportion to population.
Second, because some ofits provisions
are unconstitutional.
The message is accompanied by opin-
ions from the Attorney General aud from
ex.Judge Comstock sustaining that view.
The Governor expressly reserves any
expression of his own views on the sub
ject of high-license; recites the positions
of high-lcense and prohibition advo-
Gates, and that of the Germans on the
other hand, all of whom he pronounces
well-meaning citizens.
As to the alleged motives actuating the
Legislature in passing the bill he says:
"While the question of temperance is
not party question, and can not well
be made such. yet it is impossible to
ignore the political aspscts of the meas.
ure, especially where it was well known
that its support was made the subject OF
consideration at party caucus of the
majority ofthe Legislature, and peculiar.
ly framed so as to operate solely upon the
Two great Democratic constituencies OF
State, while Republican cities and con
stituencies are exempted from its bur
den."
The whole reason for the veto can be
found in the last quotation-and that is
the Governor considers the enforcement
of high license law in the cities made
Democratic strongholds through the
potency of free whiskey would work ire
parable injury to the continued strength
of that party. If Mr.. Hill and the
Democracy can stand his action the
Republican party will take their chances

HOUSES IN DEMAND.

Got a house to Rent? This is the
query heard on all hands, and the ques-
ton of where the new people expected
in Mankato as soon as Spring opens i'm
earnest are going to live, is becoming a
very important one. The FREE PRESS
has daily calls from numbers of persons
inquiring about places to live, and no.
tice i'm the daily of blouse to Rent"
invariably brings to: the advertiser a
large number of would-be tenants, and
makes the former wish he had dozen
houses to spare. The matter has often
been agitated in these columns of the
importance of some movement to supply
this constantly increasing demand for
dwelling places. Strangers are in the
city daily making inquiries, and there is
no doubt many are prevented from To-
eating here bv inability to get place to
live In at any reasonable price. The in
flow of new population is naturally mostly
people of moderate means, who can not
afford to pay fancy rent or live in fan
CIV houses. What is needed is a large
number of substantial but small houses
that would rent at from IS to SD per
month. In order that such rates should
bring fair interest on the investment.
these houses would have to be butt upon
lots i'm the suburban parts of the city
perhaps Mt distance not now accessible
by the street car lines. But with the
present prospects of Mankato there is no
doubt that the city will have to branch
out, and as soon as our real estate men
and capitalists get this fact digested, and
begin to build in outlying additions, the
street car company can be depended up
on to follow suit. Who will be the first
to start the movement for new houses
There's millions in it."
In this connection there is another
matter of importance that We might
mention, which is to the advantage of
treating with courtesy strangers who are
in the city on prospecting visits. Just at
this season of the year, many people are
looking for business openings, and those
who are attracted to Mankato should be
given a cordial welcome. Strangers re-
ceive their impressions of a city mainly
from the reception accorded them by its
citizens, and our people should not be-
come SO thoroughly wrapped up in bust
ness as to neglect the Importance of CIV
ing all warm reception.

A. CYCLONE Anniversary.

One year ago to-day occurred the ter
rible cyclone which laid low the towns
of st. Cloud and Sank Rapids, the disas-
ter coming without warming and within
a few moments turning those prosperous
places into q scene of sickening horror
and devastation. Nineteen persons met
their death at st. Cloud, and thirty
eight at Sank Rapids, while the badly
wounded in both places numbered far
into the hundred. AtSt. Cloud IS build
ings were totally demolished, among
them depots, residences, business hous-
es, and many principal buildings. Sank
Rapids met 4 similar fate, losing her
court house, school bnilding, churches,
etc. Though the misfortune TO the two
cities was great, the generous people of
the Northwest were prompt in their Of
ferings of aid. and the result was that
this wants of the penniless were sup
piled, injuries of the wounded cared for,
and everything that was possible done
to alleviate the sufferings caused by the
terrible disaster. The cyclone swept
district was rapidly rebuilt, and to-day
but few traces of the destruction Of a
wear ago can be seen.

How 1t Work s.

Minneapolis Tribune, l3th:-Mr: j.. X.
Moore, private secretary to Gov. McGill,
related a case yesterday which teaches
a practical lesson concerning. the long
and short haul clause of the interstate
commerce bill. He said that gen.
tleman at st. Peter has done quite an
extensive business in shipping shade
trees to points in Dakota, where he finds
a ready market for them among the far
mers and citizens of the territory gener-
ally.
Heretofore the Northwestern road has
charged him $22 per car from st. Peter
to WATERFOWL, Oak. Now the same road ,
under the interstate law, says it must
charge him 500 per car for the same
distance, unless the commission will
suspend the long and short haul clause.
The gentlemen referred To says he has
contracted for large lots of these trees to
be delivered in Dakota this spring, but
cannot fill the orders on account of the
cost of shipment.

that Gin his opinion the Interstate COM

Senator Collum is the father of the

of hope that the poor newspaper fellows
will come out all right after all. There

REPORTS from West Virginia are to the
effect that Senator Camden is making a
secret effort to secure the votes neces-
sary for his reelection. He needs five
more votes than he has been able 10
command 80 far, but it is stated that he
has not met with any success. The
senator's plea with the Republican men,
bers of the legislature is that his re-
election will mean protection vote in
place of the Free-trader Lucas, whom
the governor has appointed, but the pro-
lection sentiment on both sides Of the
Senate is known to be so strong that
Camden's argument has but little effect.
The legislature will soon meet to pass
appropriation bills, and the attempt is
to be made to resume balloting for Sem
ator. 1t is claimed that this cannot be
done in special session called together
for a special purpose, but the attempt
will be made.

doors during the remainder of the sea-
